WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR PATH TO CAL?

I grew up in a small suburb called Palos Verdes about an hour south of LA. My senior year, I applied to all the UCs hoping to get lucky and be accepted to at least one of them. Getting into Berkeley was honestly a huge shock, but since then I haven’t looked back!

HOW MUCH PROGRAMMING HAVE YOU DONE (& WHAT LANGUAGES)?

I started programming my freshman fall at Cal (CS10 woooo!!!). Since then, I have learned MATLAB, Python, SQL and Java. CS10 inspired me to pursue EECS as a major even with the limited background that I had :)

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

I like to dance (ask me about [M]ovement!!), listen to music way too loud, talk about how much I love CS10 and bake/make desserts!

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR TALENTS & SKILLS?

Is sarcasm a talent? If it is, then I’d say I’m a professional. I’m also very good at finishing full shows on Netflix (Criminal Minds, Bates Motel, etc.) and would like to consider myself a Disney connoisseur.

HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING REMARKABLE? HAS ANYTHING MEMORABLE HAPPENED TO YOU?

I went to the Speech and Debate State Championships two years in a row in high school. You’d never know because of how socially awkward I am embarrassed emoji

WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS SEMESTER?

I will be dancing and taking CS188!!
